One of Leonardo's favorite quotes is:"The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it had bridled the rage of lions, hushed the anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.— John Chrysostom God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill He treasures up His bright designs And works His sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. - William Cowper, "God Moves in a Mysterious Way" "But the new rebel is a Sceptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. Thus he writes one book complaining that imperial oppression insults the purity of women, and then he writes another book (about the sex problem) in which he insults it himself. He curses the Sultan because Christian girls lose their virginity, and then curses Mrs. Grundy because they keep it. As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, and then, as a philosopher, that all life is waste of time. A Russian pessimist will denounce a policeman for killing a peasant, and then prove by the highest philosophical principles that the peasant ought to have killed himself. A man denounces marriage as a lie, and then denounces aristocratic profligates for treating it as a lie. He calls a flag a bauble, and then blames the oppressors of Poland or Ireland because they take away that bauble. The man of this school goes first to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts. In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite sceptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines. In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt.’ By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything…" - G. K. Chesterton "Dear Sir: Regarding your article 'What's Wrong with the World?' I am. Yours truly," — G.K. Chesterton "You have two ears and one mouth. I suggest that you use them in that proportion.” - G.K. Chesterton “Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.” - G. K. Chesterton" "Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere." - G. K. Chesterton "Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up." - G. K. Chesterton "The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits." - G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy "All roads lead to Rome; which is one reason why many people never get there." - G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy "These day...Expand for more
s its not just that the line between right and wrong has been made unclear, today Christians are being asked by our culture today to erase the lines and move the fences, and if that were not bad enough, we are being asked to join in the celebration cry by those who have thrown off the restraints religion had imposed upon them. It is not just that they ask we accept, but they now demand of us to celebrate it too." — Ravi Zacharias "With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference." — Ravi Zacharias "It is difficult to resist the conclusion that twentieth century man has decided to abolish himself. Tired of the struggle to be himself, he has created boredom out of his own affluence, impotence out of his own detromania, and vulnerability out of his own strength. He himself blows the trumpet that brings the walls of his own cities crashing down, until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, having drugged and polluted himself into stupefaction, he keels over, a weary, battered old brontosaurus, and becomes extinct." - Malcolm Muggeridge "Marriage means handing over yourself, your body, your future, your keeping to the one whom you dearly love, although this person may in many ways may remain a stranger, this tremendous act of faith is something that can unlock in each lover powers of compassion, generosity, joy, passion, fidelity and hope that no one guessed was even there. That is why the confidence of young lovers is not foolish or arrogant but an expression of a basic fact in human experience, that the greatest of human gifts are set to work only when people are prepared to risk everything... and first you risk it before God." - Ravi Zacharias "Religion is what you do in your solitariness. If you've never been solitary, you've never been religious." Alfred North Whitehead "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." Thomas Jefferson "Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living, but for a naturalist, he is wrong. For a naturalist, it is the examined life that is not worth living." James W. Sire, 'The Universe Next Door' p. 107 "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19 "For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:21 "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen-not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." Clive Staples Lewis "God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you, you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all. But, fortunately, it works the other way round. Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself." - C. S. Lewis "Burning Hearts Are Not Nourished by Empty Heads" - R.C. Sproul "Several years ago my atheist colleague Quentin Smith unceremoniously crowned Stephen Hawking's argument against God in A Brief History of Time as "the worst atheistic argument in the history of Western thought." With the advent of The God Delusion the time has come, I think, to relieve Hawking of this weighty crown and to recognize Richard Dawkins' accession to the throne." - William Lane Craig "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both" - Benjamin Franklin And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light, that I may tread safely into the unknown!" And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way." - Marie Louise Haskins "There are five gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Christian, and some people will never read the first four." - Gypsy Smith "To be ignorant and simple now - not to be able to meet the enemies on their ground - would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered." - C. S. Lewis "A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the trusted stronghold." - Proverbs 21:22". More about Leonardo:"Hi, I'm Leo. People seem to like me because i am polite and rarely late. I enjoy ice cream and a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me i have the IQ of 48 and am what some people call: Mentally Retarted.".
